In just his second full month on the platform, he made $9,700. “I never knew that writing could make me $10,000 in a month,” Lahijani, now a 19-year-old sophomore at New York’s Baruch College, tells CNBC Make It.
Unlike professionals who develop characters and plotlines for video game studios, Lahijani specifically writes for users who play Grand Theft Auto 5 Roleplay, a multiplayer computer version of the popular console game. In this iteration of the game, players have to submit character backstories to join specific servers and play with certain users.
